Chapter 23 Singer Huang Ling and the theme song of "The Best of Us"
Magic City, a certain park
Li Jiahang was wearing a combat uniform with a serious expression. He pushed his hands forward, folded his fists up and down, bent his arms in a block, slowly raised them to his forehead, then swung his arms back vigorously, and finally quickly supported his waist A belt the size of a front camera box that makes a cry for justice.

"Golden Armored Warrior, activate energy!"

Conscience of heaven and earth, Wei Yang didn't want to laugh at his good brother at all, but seeing this scene, he really didn't hold back.

"Hahaha……"

When Li Jiahang finished filming that part, and walked over with a dark face, Wei Yang laughed until his feet went limp.

"Brother Hang, I really don't blame you brother, I really didn't expect the impact of the scene to be so great, the energy is activated, hahaha..."

It seems that the special shooting drama does not require any acting skills, but it tests the actor's sense of faith.

Especially the domestic special dramas, which are aimed at a relatively young age group, do not have a certain soul of the second year, and often cannot bear those shameful lines and actions.

"Wei, why are you laughing again, I will fight with you."

Li Jiahang gritted his teeth with hatred, and tried his best to prevent Wei Yang from visiting the class, but in the end he still didn't stop him. Thinking about his actions just now, he wished he could die on the spot.

"Ahem, stop laughing, really stop laughing."

Wei Yang forcibly calmed his emotions, although the corners of his eyes still couldn't stop smiling, but at least it wasn't so obvious, Li Jiahang didn't know it at all.

To be honest, it was the first time for him to have someone come to visit the set when he was filming, and he was very moved when he returned to the club after death.

"At noon, I will treat guests to the wind, and I can order whatever I want."

Li Jiahang patted his chest. Although the cost of "Golden Armored Warrior" is very low, and the actor's salary is not high, he is the number one male, and with many roles, he still made a small fortune. Good brother came to visit, The shot is very atmospheric.

"Don't be in a hurry to eat, you said earlier that there is a singer Huang Ling in your crew, where is it?"

Wei Yang patrolled around, but didn't hear a reply. Looking back, Li Jiahang was looking at him with resentment.

"So you didn't come to see me."

"piss off."

Wei Yang got goosebumps, and kicked over: "Don't talk nonsense, find someone quickly, how is your relationship with her?"

"I'm not very familiar with you. Why, didn't you have a hot fight with the man from the capital? Want to cheat?"

"To be precise, as of now, the two of us are not boyfriend and girlfriend, and there is no cheating. Besides, it's none of your business. Hurry up and find someone, there is business."

Li Jiahang mumbled to find someone, and finally pulled a girl with charming eyebrows, who was Huang Ling that Wei Yang was looking for.

"Hello, Teacher Huang, my name is Wei Yang."

"Don't dare to be a teacher. I heard from Jiahang that you have something to do with me?"

Huang Ling spoke softly, with a very direct personality, going straight to the point, and Wei Yang didn't hesitate, and got down to business.

"That's right. I'm a producer. Now I have a movie in hand and I'm going to record the theme song. I want to invite Teacher Huang Ling to try it."

It turned out to be alive!
Huang Ling's eyes lit up, and his attitude suddenly became much more enthusiastic. This is not a place to talk, Wei Yang suggested to find a restaurant later and talk carefully.

Only then did Li Jiahang understand what was going on, poked Wei Yang, and asked softly, "What's going on."

He knows Wei Yang well, and he rarely gets involved in things that are not beneficial. This time he is busy making up the theme song, and he is definitely not running errands for nothing.

Wei Yang smiled: ""The Best of Us" lacks a theme song. I wrote two lyrics and gave them to Lao Xia. The 5 yuan paid for the work."

"You still write songs?"

Li Jiahang's eyes widened, Wei Yang felt a little guilty: "I wrote the lyrics, and I also got some inspiration for the melody. I'll find someone who can compose and get the score."

"..."

Li Jiahang convinced: "You are so awesome, Lao Xia also agrees?"

"He was not satisfied with the song written by the person he found, so he bought it outside. Good songs are expensive, so he might as well let me try it. He read the lyrics and was very satisfied, and I offered a cheap price."

Screenwriter, producer, and acting, Wei Yang left a deep impression on Blue Whale and accumulated some trust.

Under another person, Xia Cong was kicked out directly, but Wei Yang came forward, he was still willing to give it a try.

"Then Huang Ling?"

"I've listened to her "Itch" and "Hey Song", and they sing well, and I must know musicians, so I have to get in touch with them."

With a total budget of 5 yuan, minus the cost of composing + arranging + recording, Wei Yang earns some money on his own, and there is not much money left for the singer.

The established singers don't have to think about it at all, they can only find newcomers or young singers like Huang Ling who have just made their debut.

Although it was for making money, Wei Yang still wanted to configure "The Best of Us" as well as possible, so he found Huang Ling, who became famous in later generations.

Otherwise, according to normal logic, 300 singers for a day in the Shanghai Bar are enough.

This kind of singer doesn't need Wei Yang to spend money.

Just kidding, allowing you to sing the theme song of a TV series is equivalent to helping you produce a single. It would be nice if you don't ask for money.

Even if he found Huang Ling, Wei Yang did not give a high price, 1 yuan for two songs, which is already his bottom line for the quality of "The Best of Us".

...

Half an hour later, in a small restaurant near the shooting location, Wei Yang didn't go around in circles, and directly put his needs and prices on the front row.

Everyone is very busy, success is successful, not failure, he has no time to repeatedly drag for such a small amount of money.

Huang Ling just released her first album "Itch" in March this year. The songs "Itch" and "Hi Song" in it became her masterpieces later.

But at this time, except for "Itch" which has a small circle on the Internet, "Hey Song" became popular because of "The Voice of China".

Therefore, the current Huang Ling is quite embarrassing. Ge Xiaohong, but she is not popular, otherwise she would not come to play the supporting role villain of the special drama.

1 yuan to record two songs is not a high bid, but then again, if the TV series can be broadcast, it is also an opportunity.

Huang Ling hesitated: "Can I read the lyrics?"

Wei Yang nodded, took out two pages of paper from his bag, folded them in half so that only half of the top was exposed, and held them for Huang Ling to see.

Occupational disease of the screenwriter, money and goods are not paid, and outsiders will never see the complete manuscript...

The two songs are called "The Best of Us" and "Stressed", which are actually the theme songs of the original drama.

These two songs are not particularly outstanding, but they are also very good. They can be regarded as masterpieces of youth campus theme, have a certain influence, and the most important thing is to fit the plot.

Wei Yang memorized some lyrics, and even copied his own original ones, and reproduced the lyrics. Seeing that Huang Ling read it seriously, he even hummed two melodies.

"I'm just thinking about it too. I'm not very familiar with this aspect. You need to be checked by professionals."

Wei Yang said it very modestly, he doesn't know how to compose music, but it's not uncommon to write songs by himself, but usually it's for self-entertainment.

Many small recording studios often "produce songs" for people. It's a similar situation. Even if you don't know how to write lyrics and music, they will complete them for you.

At first, Huang Ling also thought that she had run into a whimsical takeover, thinking that it would be nice to earn extra money, but after reading the lyrics and listening to the melody, she withdrew her evaluation, thinking that Wei Yang still had two tricks.

"You really never studied music?"

Wei Yang looked innocent: "Does music class in high school count?"

Huang Ling choked, and then looked at Wei Yang with pity: "If you learn music, with your talent and this face, you might be the next Chinese king."

"I don't have a penchant for daydreaming."

Wei Yang is not very interested in being a singer, he is more concerned about whether Huang Ling can accept the price, and whether he can make a song for him by the way.

"The price is a bit low, but your song is good, so I'll take the job. As for composing and arranging music, if you trust me, I'll find someone to do it, and finally give you the finished product."

Is bag work popular now?

Li Jiahang, who was watching by the side, couldn't help but slander, but Wei Yang was very interested: "How much?"

Huang Ling did the math himself, and made two gestures: "4.5."

Wei Yang shook his head like a rattle: "It's too expensive, and the budget is not enough."

"4, the quality and quantity are guaranteed, and I also took a favor in it."

"No, no, no, our leaders absolutely disagree with this price. I can give it up to 3 yuan, and the quality and quantity must be guaranteed."

"You don't have to worry about the quality. Listen to the demo and we'll record it. But the price is too low, at least 3.5."

"... 3.2 yuan, but you have to sign a contract. If there is a problem with the quality, you must modify it in place, otherwise the final payment will be deducted."

The two fought with each other, and Huang Ling couldn't play Wei Yang, an old fritter at all, and his bottom line continued to drop. Finally, he gave Huang Ling two songs at a price of 3.2 yuan, with a deposit of 1 yuan.

At this price, Huang Ling couldn't talk about losing money, but he basically didn't make much money, so he probably had to pay favors.

The reason why she gritted her teeth and accepted it was because she was interested in the prospects of these two songs, and hoped that these two songs could bring some other benefits.

When Wei Yang was a screenwriter, he hated Party A’s repeated revisions and deducting the final payment, but when he became Party A, he exploited Party B without mercy, lowering the price and raising conditions.

Huang Ling was so angry that she grinded her teeth, didn't eat much, and was full of anger...

After Huang Ling left, Wei Yang called Xia Cong: "Hey, Mr. Xia, the theme song is already in the works. Yes, the finished product should be available in half a month. The budget is 6+. No need, hey, everything is fine." Is it for our company..."

Li Jiahang was dumbfounded when he saw it beside him: "Are you going to ask Lao Xia for another ten thousand?"

"We have agreed on the all-inclusive price, how can we temporarily increase the price? Besides, if the news gets out, who am I?"

"Then you are?"

"The budget is said to be high, which means we didn't make any money. He listened to it and felt comforted. Even if he missed something, he wouldn't be angry if I didn't ask him for a penny."

Wei Yang explained: "Old Xia is easy to be paranoid, so he has to say some nice words to coax him. If it were Sun Wei or Zheng Dong, he wouldn't be able to play like this."

Li Jiahang knew that Wei Yang was good at communication and wanted to learn a thing or two, so he asked for advice humbly.

"Then what about the two of them?"

"Sun Wei is simple, I will give him a red envelope later, as for Zheng Dong..."

Wei Yang recalled Zheng Dong's demeanor, and said firmly: "First find a place to drink and sing K, accompany him first, and then talk about business. If the budget is less than 10, I didn't give him enough to drink."
